The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote host is a version prior to 28.0.1500.95.  It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A cross-origin restriction bypass error exists     related to HTML frames. (CVE-2013-2881)

  - A type-confusion error exists in the V8 JavaScript     engine. (CVE-2013-2882)

  - Use-after-free errors exist related to     MutationObserver, DOM and input handling.
    (CVE-2013-2883, CVE-2013-2884, CVE-2013-2885)

  - Unspecified errors exist with no further details.
    (CVE-2013-2886)

This update fixes an issue with Google V8, as used in Google Chrome before 28.0.1500.95, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors that leverage 'type confusion.'

Please note that this issue's impact on Node.js is somewhat lessened since it does not typically execute JavaScript from foreign sources.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201309-16 (Chromium, V8: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Chromium and V8. Please       review the CVE identifiers and release notes referenced below for       details.
  Impact :

    A context-dependent attacker could entice a user to open a specially       crafted website or JavaScript program using Chromium or V8, possibly       resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the       process or a Denial of Service condition. Furthermore, a remote attacker       may be able to bypass security restrictions or have other, unspecified,       impact.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Google V8, as used in Google Chrome before 28.0.1500.95, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of     service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors that leverage type confusion.
    (CVE-2013-2882)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Chromium web browser.

  - CVE-2013-2881     Karthik Bhargavan discovered a way to bypass the Same     Origin Policy in frame handling.

  - CVE-2013-2882     Cloudfuzzer discovered a type confusion issue in the V8     JavaScript library.

  - CVE-2013-2883     Cloudfuzzer discovered a use-after-free issue in     MutationObserver.

  - CVE-2013-2884     Ivan Fratric of the Google Security Team discovered a     use-after-free issue in the DOM implementation.

  - CVE-2013-2885     Ivan Fratric of the Google Security Team discovered a     use-after-free issue in input handling.

  - CVE-2013-2886     The chrome 28 development team found various issues from     internal fuzzing, audits, and other studies.
